Exhibitions 2020

A Royal Progress – Kings and Queens through the ages      from Arabella Drummond who married Robert III of Scotland to the visit of Queen Victoria, we look at Scotland’s royal family through connections to Strathearn, books and especially pictures in the Innerpeffray collection.

Extreme Weather—floods, volcanoes and earthquakes     enjoy the many descriptions of Noah’s ark as well as other great  deluges and disasters in history.

Beside the Bard – Shakespeare connections at Innerpeffray    delve into some drama as we display source material for Macbeth, and other contemporary connections to the great playwright.

Anniversaries and Celebrations in 2020

The Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320, 700 years ago this year, and we will be displaying a lovely facsimile of the document in a volume donated last year.
